This client had a large square backyard that wasn't particularly interesting and was way too hot most of the afternoon. She wanted to be able to enjoy the space, grow food, and was also very concerned with groundwater recharge. The downspouts from the roof were directed into a large dry creek for onsite water harvesting which also serves as a main visual feature as it curves through the garden. Meandering pathways of decomposed granite lead you wherever you might want to go - whether that's out to the patio to get some shade under the arbor in the hot afternoon sun, or to the elongated raised vegetable beds. Party guests can sit at one of two patios or even sit on the generous benches around the sides of the raised bed. Curving shapes allow all of the garden features to flow together. Plants were installed on large soil mounds which allow for excellent drainage as well as topographic interest. Client's existing heirloom roses were replanted throughout garden. This overgrown weedy space was transformed into a beautiful, multi-functional garden for entertaining, relaxing, growing food, and recharging groundwater.

This beautiful Carlsbad kitchen remodel strikes a perfect balance of being light and bright while feeling warm and inviting with the mix of wood tones. While large in size, the original kitchen lacked functionality, so the design of the space had to address several key concerns for the homeowners who are both avid home chefs. One of the key focal points was designing an island that would provide ample prep space while also serving as a gathering spot for the family. Additionally, utilizing a different wood finish for the island - in this case walnut - enhanced the custom look and feel of the space. Drawers were selected for storage as opposed to traditional cabinets in the island, while elegant brass pulls complete the look. For the cabinetry around the perimeter of the kitchen, a creamy white finish was selected with glass front upper cabinets illuminated along the top - the perfect spot for displaying family mementos. Special attention was paid to properly space planning the kitchen to ensure that there was ample space for the refrigerator, pantry door, and oven to open comfortably - an issue that had plagued the original design. Top of the line appliances from SubZero and Wolf were selected to complete the client’s wish for a kitchen with all of the culinary bells and whistles.

This G-shaped kitchen could be the heart of any country home. The white on white kitchen has painted kitchen cabinets, a decorative valance and glass cabinet doors with in-cabinet lighting for a unique yet casual feel. There's also a large eating space made from maple kitchen cabinets—providing a family with the perfect farmhouse kitchen to cook and relax in.

A raised berm is planted with native shrubs to create privacy from the street. Native buffalo grass is a nice drought tolerant turf grass. While it can tend to get patchy over time, it can be seeded with a Habiturf mix to create biodiversity that helps the lawn persist over time. Mexican Bird of Paradise, related to the Pride of Barbados seen all over Austin, is more freeze hardy and has beautiful cream and magenta flowers.

Our recently married Clients contacted us regarding a kitchen remodel. They were envisioning changing their future home from the house the wife grew up in for 10 years to one they could call their own. Their first project, the kitchen, needed major updating and re-design to allow better flow for everyday use. Another primary goal was removal of the wall between the kitchen and family room, in order to create a better flow for entertaining purposes. After speaking with several other contractors, they had concerns as to the possibility of the bearing wall being removed, including the mechanical and plumbing obstacles.

Designed by Susan Rotelli of Reico Kitchen & Bath's Fredericksburg, VA showroom, this transitional kitchen design features cabinets from Merillat Masterpiece in the Alina door style in Maple with a Dove White with Cinder Glaze finish. Countertops are Cambria engineered stone in the color Montgomery. This peninsula kitchen also features a small butlers pantry area to the side of the double oven and cabinet.

"When we bought our house in Poway 11 years ago, we were so happy with our huge master bath and Jacuzzi tub. It was such a huge step-up from our prior home. But just like the rest of the house, the master bath was already almost 20 years old and getting out dated and in need of remodeling. We broke up our remodeling projects into every couple of years, doing what we could ourselves and hiring out for the rest. The master bath was the last project and much too big for us to do on our own. We got 3 quotes from 3 contractors listed on Angie’s list which all had good reviews. One was a major re modeler and the other two were smaller contractors. We ended up going with TaylorPro because he was right in the middle and had great reviews. Kerry was very responsive getting us a timely estimate and had great suggestions for what we were looking for. From the start to finish it turned out to be a wonderful experience! To our delight, they were able to get started ahead of what we were told. Everything went almost as scheduled and we were informed constantly on where we were in the project. Kerry was very responsive to all our concerns or requests and we were never left wondering what the next step would be. His crew was wonderful, so polite and hard working. They were very professional, on time, considerate and knew exactly what they were doing. There were certain things we were really looking for in the remodel. First off, the bathroom was pretty large with a high ceiling. In the winter months, it was always really cold and hard to heat. To solve that we had TaylorPro install heated flooring beneath the travertine tiles. We also needed a custom vanity that would conceal hair appliances, most of our personal toiletries and have enough storage for everything else. The cabinetry was custom designed to exactly what we were looking for. Lastly, we wanted a classic, timeless look using tumbled travertine. After consulting with his designer we were able to select all the tile, accent tile and a beautiful frameless glass shower enclosure. The finished project was beyond our highest expectations and we won’t hesitate to use Kerry and his crew for any future jobs or recommend him to family and friends." ~ Mark and Amy B, Clients Frameless shower door, glass tile with rope border, dark and light travertine tiles on walls, travertine on floor, heated floor by NuHeat, tub and sinks by Kohler, shower/tub/vanity fixtures Hansgrohe, toilet Toto, custom cabinets by Thead Custom Cabinetry.

Relax in this inviting kitchen with built in granite peninsula. The customer's main concern was creating an updated appearance with additional storage and functional countertops. The warm pecan tones of the cabinets complement the gold hues in the duraceramic flooring. The Alaska white granite brings the duraceramic, countertops, and backslash together to create a cohesive look.

This was the last room in the house the homeowner wanted to refresh. She is very concerned about the environment and what we put in landfills, so she knew refacing was the way she wanted to go. She wanted a place to make cookies with her grandkids and there was enough room for a new kitchen island refaced in black for contrast with matching door profiles. The rest of the cabinets were done in a custom arched raised panel profile door done in antique white. We finished the new look with a quartz countertop done in Hazelwood, a tile backsplash done in Haiku and crown molding on top of the cabinets. The homeowner loves her refreshed kitchen. Says it looks brighter, more open, and more functional.
